The food was great and service generally was good. The one negative was the pacing - I think it may have been the rush but the courses took too long to come out. Overall the food was great.

We so enjoyed our first dining experience at Yakitori Hachibei. We went with the $50 omakase option and it did not disappoint! Everything was delicious and the service was fantastic. We plan to visit again soon to try other menu items.

Service was phenomenal, the servers took time to explain each dish and walked us through the menu. The food was fantastic and well paced and portioned. This was well worth a trip while in Honolulu.

This was our 2nd visit to Yakitori Hachibei and it is still as good if not better then we remembered it. We sat on the counter which was kind of fun because we got to see the food as it was being cooked. I'm amazed at the skill of the Yakitori master (no idea what to call him). There were two of them, one person preps the orders and the yakitori master cooks them. The room was filled to near capacity but between the yakitori pit, kitchen and wait staff, they kept things flowing. Though we ordered from the Omakase side of the menu, we even had a added some skewers in between and they handled adeptly. We left with full bellys and smiles on our faces. You simply cannot go wrong here no matter what kind of skewers you like. I noticed that they have happy hour from 3-5:30pm, every day and if you want to save a few bucks, that's the way to go.

Japanese skewer restaurant with expanded dishes. Happy hour preset menus, $35 (9-courses) and $50 (11 courses, including A-5 Wagyu) were excellent and a real bargain. Plus friendly, efficient service makes this a must try.

Yakitori Hachibei was excellent! We got the omakase course with a few additional add-ons and were delighted with how everything tasted. Some food highlights were the Cream Cheese Tofu app and the Tsukune and Scallop skewers. We went on a Thursday evening and the ambiance was wonderful. One of our servers, Chaz, was incredibly helpful and attentive. Highly recommended and will be back!!

Loved the happy hour omakase! The only thing I would recommend is more sauce for the first chicken yakitori. Other than that, everything was great!
